[01:18] <qwebirc20171> Hi, I recently installed Mythbuntu 12.04 after having been on 9.10. I have a Hauppage Grey remote and IR receiver attached to a PVR 250. I'm totally confused by what's happened to support for remotes in Mythbuntu now. Do I need to use LIRC, or has support for the PVR250 IR receiver been built into the kernel? (FWIW, LIRC errors out when loading and I've spent a few hours trying to fix with no luck, so I'm hoping that ther
[01:32] <Patrickdk> oh, your hopelessly behind the times
[01:33] <Patrickdk> in 10.04, (kernel 2.6.32, but I think it happened in 2.6.30?) support for IR receivers was moved INTO the kernel, instead of external
[01:33] <Patrickdk> this should be HUGELY documented, with how much time was passed, I know it got documented well back then
[01:33] <Patrickdk> but yes, forget everything you knew about lirc
[01:39] <qwebirc20171> You're right - I'm hopelessly behind the times : ) So does that mean that in the Mythbuntu Control Center I should just choose the "No additional remote support" option for the PVR250 IR receiver? I think the option to choose LIRC and the Hauppage remote in Control Center may have led me down the wrong path...
[01:39] <Patrickdk> I have no idea
[01:39] <Patrickdk> I never used an IR remote with myth before
[01:39] <Patrickdk> well, not since version 0.15
[01:40] <Patrickdk> since 0.17, I've been using ps3 remotes, bluetooth :)
[01:42] <qwebirc20171> You're way too advanced for me. This has been my MythTV remote for probably close to 10 years : )
[01:43] <qwebirc20171> Ok, I'm off to google threads on 10.04 and the hauppage remote - that should get me what I need. Thanks for the help!
[01:43] <Patrickdk> ya, I just wanted something alittle nicer, and with the newest version, it has tv volume/power on it too :)
[01:44] <qwebirc20171> Well, hopefully I can get by without upgrading my remote, but I suppose if I have to at least I'll get some cool new tricks with it.
[01:45] <Patrickdk> ya, I'm all about going through walls/doors/...
[01:45] <Patrickdk> bedroom system lives in the closet
[01:45] <Patrickdk> and livingroom one lives downstairs
[13:51] <qwebirc52720> I'm having a problem with getting the firmware to load for an hvr-1950. I've copied the .fw files to /lib/firmware but  dmesg keeps telling me "Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing"
